INDIANS over in the nation appreciate
their privileges as American citizens.
They take to rowing over an election
and going for scalps quite naturally. In
Dawson county, Choctaw Nation, two
weeks since. two men were killed over
the election OF sheriff. The sheriff elect
was soon missing and now his BODY
and two OF his friends have been found
dead, IN a creek. There are more scalps
In sight. Thus do the benign influences
OF American civilization extend to be-
nighted Indians.
